Local news spotlights Chamberlain Pub, Bed & Breakfast accent

May 22, 2025 | By

History meets hospitality at Wesley on Grand!

We’re excited to share this wonderful story from WHO 13 News featuring The Chamberlain Pub at Wesley on Grand as well as the Chamberlain Bed & Breakfast. Both are located on the campus of Wesley on Grand in Des Moines — and open to the public.

Though these historic spaces are nestled within a community for healthy living, they’re designed for everyone to enjoy — creating intergenerational connections that bring people together and enrich lives.

In the story, which aired locally on May 21, WesleyLife President and CEO Rob Kretzinger, who once officed out of the historic Chamberlain Mansion, reflects in the story on the legacy of the mansion and what it means to see it bustling with new energy. Then, Wesley on Grand executive director Damon Buskohl offers a behind-the-scenes look at what makes the Bed & Breakfast a one-of-a-kind experience.

A big thank-you to Jannay Towne and WHO-TV for helping introduce this unique community gem to new patrons across the metro!
